Fragility, Conflict, and Violence Videos
Countries at peace have a much better chance to make steady social, economic, and political progress. However, in an increasingly interconnected world, where conflict, violence, and extremism do not respect national borders, unprecedented numbers of people are at risk. Videos about fragility, conflict, and violence help to shine a light on what is happening, and help motivate diplomacy, security, and mediation to prevent violent conflict and bring peace and prosperity. Dorst MediaWorks has worked for USAID, the World Bank, the IMF, USDA, and IESC in countries that are either in conflict or emerging from it.
